Chapter Five

"WAAAYYKE UUUP!" A voice sang, rather loudly.

"Yaaah!" Rika yelled, as she jumped up. Rubbing her eyes sleepily, she glanced up at the ten year old standing in her tent. "Uhhhggmm...Uhh...Wha...What?" She moaned, groggily, sitting up.

Ai looked at her for a moment. "Man...you look like...tired."

Ruki looked at her like she was stupid.

"When'd ya get to sleep?"

"Mmm...iono...What do you want?"

Ai looked confused then she smiled and clapped her hands together. ('Defiantly Jeri's influence,' Rika thought.) "I just remembered, Jeri's set up the first event and everyone is ready to go."

"Crap!" Rika seemed wide awake now. She leaped out of her sleeping bag and dived for her bag of stuff. Ai just laughed and left the tent.

~*~A Few Minutes Later~*~

Rika flew out of her tent. "Okay, I'm up. I'm ready, Let's go." So her and Ai left to join the rest of the group.

When they got there all conversation stopped and the stared.

"About time," Kazu said, "Your twenty-something minutes la_"

"Your here!" Jeri rushed over to them, throwing her arms around the two of her friends. The brunette then turned back around. "Okay everyone, now that we're all here, the event will be announced. The first event is a scavenger hunt. Each one of you will receive a list along with a map of the area in which you shall look for the items. Do not stray outside the area. One point is rewarded to your team for every item you get on the list. There are seventeen items total. The first place team gets a bonus ten points, second place gets five. The clock is set for an hour. When you here the buzzer, your time is up and you will meet back here. Okay. You may not use your digimon for this event, due to the fact they hid the items, any sign of cheating will result in a five point per person doing it deduction. One more thing. I don't know what the items are. My parents made the clues and chose the items. I haven't seen them." She paused to pass out the lists and see if anyone looked confused, then she continued. "Okay...you ready? Set? Go!"

Everyone took off in different directions. Rika headed for the forest. She wasn't running like the others. She was going to walk and read the clue's first. The handwriting was definitely not Jeri's. it was fancy as a wedding invitation.

(A/N: Now I'm too uncreative to come up with poems for clues or anything so count to three and Rika is on her twelfth item.)



"Hey, Rika."

She turned to see her best friend behind her, "Hey, Henry. How many items do you got?"

"Fifteen, and you?"

"Twelve...make that thirteen." She said, picking up a heart shaped stone.

"Well," He smiled, " That's more than anyone else I bumped into had, aside from Ryo. He had found his fourteenth one when I left. Poor guy."

"Poor? Why you say that?" She asked, laughing, while looking for a piece of bark with her name carved into it.

Henry smiled, walking alongside her. "Cause he's got Miranda hanging all over him." He laughed, not noticing Rika had stopped, and changed the pitch of his voice o he sounded like a girl, "Oh, Ryo, I don't think I can walk anymore, can you carry me? Wow, your so smart, could you find my items for me?"

Realizing Rika was not next to him, he turned around to see her just standing there, staring at him. "Uh...Rika? You ok?"

"Huh?" She snapped back into it, and shook her head. "Uh...Yeah." Henry looked at her oddly. Then smiled.

"Oooh...I get it."

"Get what?" the red head asked, wondering how she could have let her guard down.

"You like Ryo." He said, grinning ear to ear.

"No I don't." She replied, walking off.

"Yeah. And your jealous that Miranda likes him."

"No I'm not."

"So then you wouldn't care that when I was there Ryo asked her out?" He said slyly.

"He WHAT?!?" Rika nearly yelled, stopping, and turning to face him. The moment she did this, of course, she mentally smacked herself. He had baited her. Blushing, she turned away.

"Hey, Rik...I was just kidding. He didn't ask her out." He walked over to her, placing his hands on her shoulders, "Trust me. I know Ryo, and he would never ask any one out but...well her wouldn't ask her out. Okay?"

"You a real jerk, Henry." Then she smiled, not because she actually felt like it, but because she couldn't afford to reveal anymore than she had. " I don't like him, now come on, we've wasted time."

I took my love, I took it down

climbed a mountain and I turned around

and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

'til the landslide brought it down

oh, mirror in the sky

what is love?

can the child within my heart rise above?

can I sail thru the changin' ocean tides?

can I handle the seasons of my life?

I don't know.....

well, I've been afraid of changin'

'cause I've built my life around you

but time makes you bolder

even children get older

and I'm getting older too

oh, take my love, take it down

climb a mountain and turn around

and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

well the landslide will bring it down

and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

well the landslide will bring it down

the landslide will bring it down

Landslide

Fleetwood Mac
